Son of The Hero King - Chapter 675

Kiyohime did not let the element of surprise go to waste. She surged forward, a serpent of water and fury. Too bad though, as Sol was already ready for her each move. He exhaled deeply, a blast of freezing ice erupting from his maw and enveloping her speeding form mid-flight. Kiyohime roared in pain as the ice clung to her wings, slowing her movements.

Kiyohime could control water in all its forms but felt that trying to contend with Sol right now would be a waste of her time and energy, both of which she did not have.

Seizing the opportunity, Sol called upon the wind again, using the momentum of the gale to slam into her. However, a belated realization dawned upon him that her struggling form was only but an illusion, like the refraction of light on water.

By the time he reacted, dozens of ice spears had already impaled him. Things did not just stop there, however. As soon as they entered his body, the spear melted and the water flowed through his body, causing his veins to rupture.

“Crazy woman! Are you trying to kill your husband!?” Sol roared even as blood burst from his eyes and maws. Even though he knew he could regenerate faster than the attack could break him apart, he could still feel the pain. And no one liked being ripped apart from the inside out; unless they had all the screws loose on their head, of course.

“If such simple means could kill you, I would be truly disappointed.” She chuckled outwardly. She was wincing on the inside, however. Her body was not in good shape. Water had many healing properties and she had mastered some special skills from the phoenix line.

However, she had one big disadvantage. This technique consumed a great deal of her energy.

Not enough mana.

She frowned. As a Divine Beast, Kiyohime’s core allowed her to constantly pull mana from the air. Yet, there was still a limit to how much she could really pull, everything had its limits. If she went too far, this entire zone would become a Mana Dead Zone. A recurrent disaster in the Astral Realm.

Kiyohime gritted her fangs. She could stop now, logically speaking. Sol had proven his strength and the two were already in a relationship after all.
Even so…

“Sol… Stop holding back already.” She muttered and yet her voice filled the air, easily reaching him.

“… What do you mean?”

“I watched the recording of your fight against the Bull Sage. The last attack you threw at him. Why are you not using it now?”

Sol clamped his mouth shut. He knew what she was talking about. [Prototype Light of Destruction] a special attack he created by mixing three of the four main elements.

But things had changed, “I have now completed it.” Back then, he only fused Fire, Water, and Wind. Now that he had Earth, he could not even imagine the final result.

“So?” She asked, already guessing his answer.

“This attack goes beyond what should be used outside a life and death combat.”

“You think the attack can kill me.” Her words were not meant as a question, more like a rhetoric. From his reaction, she was easily able to deduce his reasons.

Stolen story; please report. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But, “Use it.” She told him.

“Kiyohime.”

“This fight is going nowhere. Our physical abilities are extremely close and while you lack experience, you make up for it with all your passive skills.” Hyper Regeneration and Near Immunity to magic mixed with Super Strength and his colossal body. She had watched Sol fight many times while he was in Tartarus, but only after facing him herself did she realize how downright disgusting this combination fared for his enemies.

A combat of attrition against Sol was meaningless. She could already foresee her defeat. That was why,

“I refuse to lose because of our difference in endurance. You must subdue me. Only then, will I recognize you as my full-fledged mate.” Her voice was earnest, her desire was even more clear than the earnestness. Sol understood that refusing her now after such a plea would only be insulting her mighty will and conviction. He was not about to smear her beliefs.

Kiyohime smiled as she saw Sol nod, and so she added, “One last blast, let’s go all out.”

“I hope you won’t regret it.” He said.

“No regrets,” she said firmly, her voice carrying both challenge and invitation.

His eyes narrowed, the weight of the moment pressing on him. “You’ve been warned,” he said evenly, though the swirling energy forming around him betrayed his rising excitement. This would be the first time he would be using the ultimate form of his attack.

The two started flying backward, taking their distance. As they separated to prepare for their ultimate clash, the sky itself seemed to respond. The winds howled louder, clouds gathering in spiraling formations as if bearing witness to the monumental forces about to be unleashed.

* * *

While the two Dragons were ready to unleash their ultimate attacks, all the elves on the ground were witnessing their battle with utter stupefaction on their faces. Even though the distance they fought was too high for them to be anything but moving dots, the elves could still observe them in varying degrees. Their massive frames also helped the process somewhat.

The fight between the two dragons was something they never thought they would have the honor to witness.

But now, horror appeared on their faces. Satella and Persephone were the first to react. One knew about Kiyohime’s power while the other was used to the power of Destruction thanks to knowing Kali.

“All Elders forward! Activate the shields, and increase the mana stone consumption to 100%!” She did not bother asking the civilians to leave. That would be an utter waste of time. There was no escaping this destruction.

No one contested her order. Their skins tingled as their instincts warned them of the impending catastrophe.

“We will help. Let us give some of our mana.” Persephone proposed. Her words caused Satella to grit her teeth. She did not refuse, however. Now was not the moment to let emotions cloud her judgment.

Persephone, Pandora, Satella, Siegfried, Jasmine, and all the elders injected their mana into the stones, deploying multiple layers of overlapping shields over their heads.

Feeling the energy in the air, Persephone was forced to show a bitter smile. There was no doubt in her mind that Sol would surprise and enamor the elves with his might and majesty, however… this was far beyond her wildest expectations.

Now, all they could do was watch and hope that the two dragons remembered there were people below.

* * *

Sol hovered in place, his wings spread wide as power began to gather around him in droves. Flames of gold erupted along his body, intertwining with greenish gusts of roaring wind and bluish streams of glimmering water. The ground below quaked as boulders rose, fragments of earth drawn toward him in swirling arcs of steadfast brown.

He closed his eyes for a moment, focusing his energy. The fusion of the four primal elements wasn’t just power— it was barely contained chaos, waiting to untangle order. The attack demanded precision and willpower beyond reason. When he opened his eyes again, they blazed with an otherworldly brilliance, gold tinged with the fury of creation itself.

He knew at that moment that if he were to add his Concept or True Name to the equation, Kiyohime would most likely not survive the attack.

The Dragon Queen herself watched with growing admiration, her tail swishing behind her as she prepared her counter. Water and light surged around her body, cascading in torrents as she drew upon her elemental mastery. Her power condensed into a single point, forming a glowing orb of pure liquid energy at the center of her chest. The air around her grew heavy with humidity, the sky darkening as thunder rumbled in the distance.

She grinned, baring sharp teeth. “You look magnificent, Sol. Let’s see if that power can subdue me.”

Sol’s lips curved into a faint smirk, the flames around him roaring higher. “Magnificent or not, you asked for this. Just… Don’t die.”

With a single, unified roar, they launched their respective attacks.

To end this Dance.
